This hand-painted cold-cast porcelain doll depicts an urban working-class figure dressed in patched clothing, worn shoes, and carrying a sculptural object while smoking a cigar.

The figure features remarkable facial modeling with exaggerated folk-art characteristics and carefully detailed clothing. The intentionally distressed costume and weathered appearance evoke the hardships and stories of everyday city life.

The Crowne Collection produced decorative cold-cast porcelain figures during the late 20th century, often emphasizing storytelling and character studies. The Tales of City Life series focused on realistic urban characters with expressive faces and detailed costumes.

These were sold primarily as collectible display pieces rather than children’s dolls.

An unusual decorative collectible that displays beautifully in folk art, character doll, and eclectic interiors.

Condition is very good. Original clothing present. Original hang tag attached. Some actual fraying and wear to jacket edges. Minor age wear to clothing and accessories. Light surface wear to painted areas. Overall good vintage display condition. See less
